Further afield the Judge's Lodgings in Presteigne, Stokesay Castle, the renowned Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre and the Acton Scott Historic Working Farm, are also all well worth a visit.

Next stop is Leominster, where you can delve into the area's history at Leominster Museum, or for a fantastic day out, why not visit historic Ludlow, home to one of the finest medieval castle ruins in England and more than 500 listed buildings? For even more things to do and see venture onto Hereford, where you’ll find the Black and White Museum (built in 1621) and the golden-stone Hereford Cathedral - home to the Mappa Mundi (Hereford's famous medieval map used by scholars to interpret the world over 700 years ago) and the captivating, chained library (a collection of rare and ancient books). Set in the former Bulmer's Cider Factory the Museum of Cider is also worth a visit. Experience Herefordshire like never before with a stay at Redstart Cottage.
